'Rouen AND POWDER. PUFF.

Application filed May 5,

The present invention relates to a rouge or powder puflfand is particularly .adapted to the construction of small puffs, such as are commonly carried in small compacts and vanity cas/es. j y

The difficulty in making a small rouge .and powder puff which will -distribute the material evenly and smoothly upon the face is that in making ther puff, which must necessarily be of limited thickness, if a stiffening member such as the customary cardboard disk is used over the ent-ire area of the puff, the construction will be so rigid that the material is distributed only around the edges of the pud and the stiffness of the device makes it unpleasant to use, whereas, if the puff is made flexible, theedges curl back leaving only a small area in the center available for use.

An object of the present invention is to make a rouge and powder puff having a resilient place imbedded therein, said plate terminating short of the edges of the'puff to retain the puff in shape and provide for an even distribution of material thereby.

In order to attain this object there is provided in accordance with one feature of the invention, a powder pu having a face of piled fabric and having a fabric back with a plate of resilient material having a pad connected to the forward face thereof, the pad, the resilient plate, and the fabric back being all connected to a handle member to hold the parts in position.

These and other features of the invention will be more fully brought out in the'following description and the accompanying draw- Figure 1, is a View in perspective of an .assembled puit' made in accordance with the present invention. i f

Figure 2, is a reduced view in transverse section of the device shown in Figure 1.

Figure 3, is a sectional view taken at right angles to the view shown in Figure 2, the fabric back member and parts connected thereto being removed from engagement with the piled fabric front portion. i

Figure 4, is an enlarged View of a resilient disk mounted within theV puff; and V Figure 5, is a View in transverse VSection of the device shown in Figure 4.

Referring to the drawings in detail, a circular iece 1 of piled fabric is formed somewhat arger than the finished diameter of 19,27. serial No. 183,960.

the puff. A smaller circularb.piece'2 -of fabric, such as silk, is then formed, and to the lower surface of this` member is c011- n ectedin turn a disk 3 of thin, flexible materlal, such as celluloid, and a circular pad t of material, such as cotton. A 4handle 5, which lmay be a small ring, is then sewn, or otherwise connected, to the upper fabric member 2, the Celluloid disk 3 and the pad 4. The thread or other fastening means is passed through holes 6 and 7 in the Celluloid disk 3. The edge'of the piled fabric 1 is then turned inwardly throughout its entire vcircumference and is sewn to the fabric member 2 around Aits outer edge. The Celluloid member 3 is preferably made thin enough so Y 4mitting a slight resilient displacement of the purl:l an even distribution is provided throughout the entire area thereof, and, since the celluloid, returns to its original shape v upon releasing the .pressure of application, the puff retains its original form th'rughout theentire life of the pile fabric.4 While the device is illustrated for a small puff of compact size, the device would be equally suited forthe construction of a larger puff.

I claim: .v l. A rouge and powder puff of the char` acter described, comprising` a back member having a resilient disk and .a pad member connected thereto, yand having a piled fabric front member connected to said back member above the outer edge thereof.

`2. A rouge and powder puff of the character described, having a circular fabric back member, a circular resilient celluloid disk of smaller diameter than said fabric disk posi' tioned forwardly of said fabric member, a pad member positioned forwardly of said Celluloid disk, a `'handle fastened to said fabric member, said fastening means passing through said Celluloid disk and said pad to unite them with said fabric member, andr a circular piled fabric front'member connected to said fabric member about the circumference thereof to enclose said Celluloid disk in said pad.

In testimony whereof I ailx my signature.
